It sounds like the case is still in the pre trial phase so an appeal would be untimely. The basic timeline is arraignment, pre-trials (discovery and negotiations), either plea or trial, sentencing, and then appeal.

He never left my property. He is staying in a camper in my yard. We have no agreement of any kind yet he refuses to leave. I live in Ohio and need him gone. This is causing me terrible stress and raising my blood pressure. Do I have to evict him although there is no lease agreement?
answered on May 18, 2022
Yes, you should evict him. He does not have a oral lease for a period of term. He is a person with no interest in the property and he can be served a three day notice and a complaint for forcible entry and detainer should be filed against him. If you call the police they will typically say it is... Read more »

I have not paid any money to the roofing company yet. I know Ohio has some type of Buyers Remorse Law. So, I am really just curious if I can just cancel this roofing contract without any legal ramifications?
answered on May 18, 2022
Most likely the Home Solicitation Sales Act would apply, and it requires the contract to provide you with notice of your right to cancel. The contract should also provide you with a form Cancellation. Send that form in to cancel.
If no notice given then you can cancel at anytime, but... Read more »

My HOA declarations list the incorrect county and the "city guidelines" around design elements are based on the WRONG city.

If the HOA declaration was properly recorded in your county recorder's office, then until somebody sues the HOA in court, and a court rules the HOA declaration invalid, the HOA can enforce it. A court would probably consider the wrong city/county as a mere drafting error that is not... Read more »

He will have to evict you, if you’ve been living there but he can as you have no lease.

Found delinquent at 15 in Ohio for domestic violence due to an altercation with my brother. Will this prevent me from being able to apply for a Concealed Carry (CCW) license? Is this something that is ever expunged, being a juvenile record and occurring 16 years ago?

You should make sure this case gets expunged. Once that’s done, you shouldn’t have any trouble.

You have not asked a question. However, if you were charged with child endangering as a result of this incident, it is far more serious than a speeding ticket and you should hire an attorney.
During a traffic stop for window tint at night do police have to run your license and registration before they ask you to step out of the car and before they ask you to search your car

The police do not have to run your registration before asking you to step out or before asking to search though they generally do. You do not have to consent to the search. But you do have to get out and provide your information.
